Methods Of Feeding Meat.

1t is universally conceded
among poultry raisers in our
country that a supply of meat is
an absolute necessity to laying
hens. but as to methods of meet
ing this need, diversities of opin-
ion are numerous. But not to ex-
patiate upon the different modes
in which meat is fed to hens, l
will briefly state my opinions on
the subject, giving the methods
which, in my experience, has
proved itself most satisfactory and
profitable.
In the summer, when hens are
given their freedom in roaming
about, they will obtain sufficient
quantity of insects, worms, ETC.. to
supply their want of animal food.
But in winter, they have no such
oppor tunities, the continuation Of
their animal diet is dependent
upon the owner. The best method
of supplying hens with a meat
diet is to obtain a beef creatures
head, which can be purchased for
ten or fifteen cents from any
butcher, and twice or three times a
week with an old axe, a part of it
should be chopped up for them.
As bone is a necessity to hens,
when this head is chopped up
bone and flesh together, hens re-
ceive two essential elements in
their necessary diet. After the
requisite supply of meat is chop
ped off, the head should be allowed
to remain in a convenient corner
in the hen-house that the fowls
may have an opportunity to pick it
over and devour the particles of
bone and meat which remain,
thus atfording them considerable
exercise.
An additional item in favor of
giving the required amount of an
imal food in this manner is that
there is less danger of overlooking
For, it being rather tiresome work
to reduce this substance to an eat.

esssary to the welfare and profit

Farm Machinery.

A young farmer, who has come
into the possession of seventy-six
acres of land, and who cannot
purchase all the costly machines
for modern labor saving oper-
atoms, wishes to know what imple-
ments and machinery would be
most indispensable to successful
farming, and how many of the
more expensive he can get along
without, and avoid serious
damage.
In answer to this inquiry, we
shall class the raising of farm
crops and garden vegetables all
under one head, ON the assumption
that the garden will be cultivated
with horse power, according to the
methods which we have described
on former occasions. We there
fore advise our correspondent to
include gardening tools of moder-
ate cost, among which the follow
ing may be named.
The most important will be the
plough and harrow in some of its
forms. These are not expensive.
A one-horse plough will be of use
in many ways, as a single horse is
often employed between rows
where larger team could not be
admitted; and such a plough is
often useful in drilled crops on
the farm. A light, single-horse
harrow, will materially aid in
keeping crops clean, and if it has
many small teeth it may be often
passed over the soil, crumbling
the surface, and killing the sprout-
ing weeds before reaching the
light A single slant tooth harrow
will perform this work admirably,
and may be cheaply constructed.
The common one-horse cultivator
will often come into play both for
the garden and farm. Among the
smaller or hand tools, are the
shovel, spade, manure-fork, prong
ed-hoe, markers in some form, and
(eminently importantly the steel
rake, which may be used every
day, if required, in crumbling the
surface before the weeds have
come up between the plants
just the thing for the death of the
weeds and the vigorous life of the
crops. A hand roller will be of
use in firming the ground after
the planting Of seeds, although its
use may be generally superseded
by the tread of the foot or the press
ure of the hoe. A good seed drill
will save a great deal of labor at
planting time. The garden line
will often be useful. The water
ing pot will be required on some
occasions, but less frequently
where the soil is deep and finely
pulverized. The fine dredging-box
with hellebore, will save the cur
rant. All these will cost less than
forty dollars, if substantially but
cheaply made.

The necessary farm machinery

The necessary farm machinery
will be more expensive. Among
them will be good two-horse and
three-horse ploughs for turning
under heavy green crops of clover,
buckwheat and rye for marare, a
good weed-hook, or in its absence
a heavy chain for the same pur-
pose will be indispensable. A
good common or Scotch harrow, a
disc or Acme, and a slant tooth
harrow, or one with spring teeth
for hard soils: a grain drill, al
though some what expensive, has
many uses in sowing grain and
planting corn in drills, and there
are some of the simpler hand
troopers which are often useful,
particularly in filling gaps or vacan-
cies where depredators have de-
stroyed the first growing plant.
Double walking and riding Guilt
vators save much labor on large
farms, but would hardly be requir-
ed on our correspondents seventy
six acre farm
A mower or reaper in some
form will be absolutely essential.
A self-raking reaper will do for a
small farm; a self-binder will save
much labor on farm of one or two
hundred acres. A steel-tooth
rake will be equally essential, and
a horse fork and carrier at the
barn for storing hay. A two
horse tread power, although cos
ting hundred and fifty dollars,
can hardly be dispensed with, as
it may be used for threshing,
cutting stalks. and grinding grain
for feed at distance from grist-
mills, besides several other pur-
poses. Good grain cleaners are
essential as we'll as corn shelters,
and they may be attached to the
feed mill and run at the same
time Farm scales for weighing
hay, grain, cattle, ETC., will greatly
assist the farmer in keeping accur-
ate accounts, and will aid him in
sales and purchases. The proceed.
ing farm machinery will cost five
hundred dollars more or less, but
by emitting some of the more
expensive machines, the sum may
be reduced a hundred dollars OF
two.--Country Gentleman.

FARM DAIRY AND HOUSEHOLD.
GLEANIN6S.

Keeping the cellar clean and
ventilated, is the best way to keep
it dry; it may be necessary to use
other means. Lime placed in the
cellar will absorb moisture and
noxious gases, and thus help to
keep the air pure. Charcoal is
also great absorber of gases.
The temperature of the cellar may
be lowered by putting a tub of
broken ice and salt in it. The
rapid melting of the ice COILS the
air. This will be convenient
when considerable quantity of
fresh meat or fruit is to be preser-
we'd. 1t is impossible to keep the
cellar in good condition unless the
drainage is efficient, and there is
proper arrangement of doors and
windows. Double ones are need
ed to keep the temperature at the
right point in the summer as we'll
as in winter.
Tie egg eater is seldom respon-
sible for the habit; unbroken
shells are carelessly thrown to her
for food, and an appetite is thus
awakened; but more frequently
the habit is formed by the break
ing of eggs in the sitter's nest.
The hen at first eats the cracked
or broken eggs from an instructive
desire to rid the nest of them, or,
perhaps finding food which may
be obtained without leaving her
cherished nest, she eats it, and
having found it palatable, the
taste is acquired
Ten acres of soiling crops will
give the same results as sixty
acres of pasture; and during the
hot, dry months of August and be.
ginning of September, when the
pastures are burned up, will prove
vastly more satisfactory. One
man for an hour during the early
morning will cut enough for two
meals; and the feeding to the
animal is onely a very short
chore

The Fall Web-worms.

Among the unsightly objects
which meets the eye of the tidy
orchardist, none are more disgust
ing than the nest of the fall
web-worms, Hypeantria textcr,
{ Harris, J which are to be seen as
early as the middle of July, and
on through the remainder of the
season, upon the apple trees,
shrubbery, and shade trees. OF
late years this caterpillar has been
on the increase in New England,
till now no insect which infests
our orchards-if we except the
cankerworms-play so destruct-
i've a part the last half of the
season as the fall web-worm.
In speaking Of the web-worms
many confound it with the tent
caterpillar, but this, although re-
lated to the same family, belongs
to a different class. Besides this,
the web-worm appears in a differ
ent season of the year, after the
tent caterpillar has left the stage
of action.
The eggs Of the web-worm moth
are laid on the under surface of
the leaves in irregular patches of
from fifty to one hundred eggs.
They are small, round, and OF
honey yellow color, and are gener-
ally laid by the 18th of July in
this latitude, and hatch in about
nine days. The young caterpillar
begins to spin its wei as soon as
it leaves the egg, and the joint
effort of the colony soon cover the
leaf on which they hatch with
web, under which the young worms
feed together, eating only the Soft
est part of the leaf. They thus
procede from leaf to leaf and
branch to branch, eating the pulpy
portion of the leaves. The remain
ing skeleton, turning brown, be-
comes a noticeable object from
distance, looking as if fire had
scorched the foliage. The young
worms are light yellow at first, but
as they grow older they assume
greenish shade with a dark stripe
along the back and yellow stripe
on the sides. tits sparsely dotted
with hairs of grayish color which
springs from yellow warts. The
worms are SO variable in their
workings, that it is difficult to find
two exactly alike. When full
grown these caterpillars are rather
more than an inch in length.
After completing their growth,
which occupies six weeks or more,
they leave their nest and wander
about till they fluid suitable places
of shelter where they encase
themselves in their cocoons, COM
posed OF a slight web of silk with
which are mingled the hairs from
their bodies. They remain in the
pupa state during the winter, the
moth appearing the last of June
or first of July. These moths are
pure white, and their wings expand
about one inch and quarter.
REMEDIES: The most feasible
plan to destroy this pest seems to
be to watch for the dried appear
ance of the leaves, and as soon as
the presence of a colony of these
caterpillars is thus indicated, re-
move the branches containing
them and destroy them by burning
or crushing. When the worms
are small and it is difficult to
reach them, swab, attached to a
pole, dipped in kerosene and
thrust into the nest will destroy
